Ficus is a pan-tropical genus of about 850 species of woody trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes and hemiepiphytes in the family Moraceae. Ficus occupies a wide variety of ecological niches; most are evergreen, but some deciduous species are endemic to areas outside of the tropics and to higher elevations. Fig species are characterized by their unique inflorescence and distinctive pollination syndrome, which utilizes wasp species belonging to the Agaonidae family for pollination. The fruit of most species are edible though they are usually of only local economic importance or eaten as bushfood. However, they are extremely important food resources for wildlife. Figs are also of considerable cultural importance throughout the tropics, both as objects of worship and for their many practical uses.            Ficus cordata commonly known as Namaqua Fig in English and Melkboom, Melkhout or Melkhoutboom in Afrikaans is a South African indigenous species with a provincial distribution which extends to Northern Cape and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa. It is found in arid habitats in Fynbos, Succulent Karoo and Nama Karoo. Almost always growing on rock outcrops or cliff faces, at altitudes up to 1500m.This gorgeous drought tolerant evergreen tree grows up to a 10m tree tall. With its grey smooth bark and ovate heart shaped leaves with velvety brown to purple figs from spring to summer it makes a very impressive bonsai and landscape focal plant.

Namaquanthus vanheerdei Seeds Common Name: Namaquavygie (Namaqua Mesemb) The genus name is derived from the word Namaqualand, where this plant grows, and the Greek word anthos, which means flower. Like many other Mesembs flowering takes place during winter. The multi-layered petals of the flowers open in the morning and close by dusk. Interestingly the centre portions of the flowers never open completely. Plants thrive in containers in a sandy-loam soil with ample compost. They are easily cultivated from seeds that are older than a year and which should be sown during autumn for best results. You're buying a pack of 10 Seeds We will supply you with all the germination & care instructions.

The genus Stomatium is placed in the Mesembryanthemaceae family. Members of this family are commonly referred to as Mesembs and are succulents. The genus name was derived from the Greek word stomation which means open mouth, in reference to the toothed leaf pairs which resemble gaping mouths. The novice succulent admirer will at first be easily confused between Stomatium and Faucaria, yet there are a few distinguishing features to tell them apart. Stomatium flowers are scented and give off a sweet sugary smell whereas Faucaria flowers are unscented. The leaf surfaces of Stomatium species are minutely pimpled, unlike those of species of Faucaria, which are either perfectly smooth, rarely warty or ribbed as is the case with Faucaria tuberculosa.         Stomatium species also typically have smaller leaves than Faucaria species. The plants are active in the summer and should be kept somewhat dry in the winter. They are hardy, tolerating cold and heat and soil conditions ranging from sandy to heavy. Full sun enriches their purplish tints. They are propagated by seed and cuttings. Wow, what an excellent succulent Stomatium alboroseum is! Just six months from seed to flowers! Although virtually all 40 Stomatium species have yellow flowers Stomatium alboroseum bears white flowers that turn pink as they age. They are heavily scented and begin to open at mid-day and closing at sunset. The leaves are covered with tiny bumps. The margins of the leaves are also toothed. Stomatium alboroseum is South African endemic and grows in Bushmanland and the Namaqua highlands. The synonym for this species, Stomatium niveum, also refers to the white flowers. It is easily propagated from seed.
